Before you start migrating a model it is important that you have a precise idea about how your model is intended to be used when it is running as an OpenMI component. Think about any situation where it will be useful to run your model linked to other OpenMI components. Such components could be other models, data providers, optimization tools or calibration tools. You may even find it useful to run two instances of your model component in the same configuration. |

Extensions to the use case provide alternative flows. Here, the flow splits from step 5 into two
alternatives.
First alternative:
- 5. The model user creates a unidirectional and ID-based link from the downstream branch in the Simple River model to the upstream node in the other river model.
- 6. The model user selects input and output exchange items for the link (output quantity for the Simple River is 'flow').
- 7. The model user defines the simulation period.
- 8. The model user runs the simulation.
Second alternative:
- 5. The model user creates a unidirectional and ID-based link from the downstream branch in the other river model to an internal node in the Simple River model.
- 6. The model user selects input and output exchange items for the link (input quantity for the Simple River is 'Inflow').
- 7. The model user defines the simulation period.
- 8. The model user runs the simulation (runs the OpenMI configuration).
